Pirate Lass Suliel

That's a good idea that I'd probably take, 'cept my Jolly Roger is a bit too big for that...so it stays in me room.

'an I'd be there just as fast! I wish I could've been an extra in the first, but alas that's over now, eh? Heh...I just want to be on, or even near one of those boats!

I've never been on the pirates ride, but I just got so...twitchy...around the Center for Wooden Boats on July 4th...soooo many pretty boats! And wooden tall ships at that! I am so in love with the Adventuress...then the only thing stopping me was the people and the lack of a full crew...heh...

I don't want to sleep with pirates, just be one! So am I wench or not? I just want my cutlass, my pistol, my rum and my ship!

Whether that bit with the boom hitting Will made sense or not, any gybe that knocks Orlando Bloom off a boat like that is just beautiful

Blast those stupid laws! I dont' want to be in a pub to drink, just fer the music! Okay, and maybe I pint or two...uh...yeah... Oh well, two more years. I'll email ye then...thanks!

I be the pirate Iron Ethel Flint accordin' to the quizzes.

Well, I be in Seattle now, for the summer, though I'm in Portland most of the year. College there, ya know. Now if only they had a major in Piracy...heh... And there's not many what can get away with calling me a wench...I'm just a female pirate, the sort who prob'ly would've done a Mary Read and dressed as a boy to get on a ship. :)

Well, I'm lookin' forward to going down to the Wawona soon then! Better than going and singing random songs off-key in the middle of the lake on the byte, though that's fun too. I'd like to see that version if it's not too much trouble! Sounds good. Mad Maudlin, I be coming down to Portland come September...and I'd say I can't wait to go back 'cept I'll miss my Cap'n and crew! (All three of us, that is...) But do you know of any sort of happenings down in Portland with sea-related music this fall? If so do tell! Fair winds to ye all -Suliel

*sniff* but I loved the Interceptor! and now my heart is broken! *sobs pathetically over her loss* Right then, now that's out of the way... Hmm, I still don't buy the thing with the moon, the timing doesn't quite work out. But oh well, it's a silly but otherwise bloody BRILLIANT movie anyway. But then there's my biggest question: Why did they call it a curse? I mean, sure, you can't quench your thirst, eat food, or go wenching and enjoy it, but hey, that's life on a boat anyway! I'd love a curse like that! It is now my life's goal to be a mad pirate who turns into a CG skeleton in the moon's light

Well, I can't say I've even done enough of my research! But, my pirates are mainly out only to "bugger the English" as we like to say. Is later 16th, early 17th century I'm working with.

The fact that there were a bunch of people around, and that I generally try to be a mostly law-abiding citizen in my usual life were the only things keeping me from boarding and stealing a nice 20-something foot boat today. Alas. Oh well.

If it could be so, my life would be sailing. As it is, I'm rather stuck on land most of the time, but I sail smaller stuff. Learned on a byte and capris, but now I'm looking for something bigger to be crew on during the summers. If anyone has any suggestions of where to look in the Pacific Northwest for something of the sort, I'd be real grateful! Haven't been on the water for far too long, which is causing madness in me, or at least more madness than usual. Am having to get by with listening to sea chanteys and writing for now...but whether or not I'm on the water, I got the sea in me through and through. Just need to get out on the water more!

Blimey, I'm looking for a ship too! Right now I just get small boats on the Lake. 'Course, I'm in Seattle here...but anyway, I was here to talk about writing. I also do a lot of writing...nothing I'm planning on publishing for a long time yet, but there's definitely pirates in there! Though my focus is more around...Scotland...though I need to do some research on not just pirates but general nautical stuff 'round the Caribbean, and English colonies and the like, for one of me stories. Nothing to do with the new movie--I wanted to get one of my characters on a boat and out to the Caribbean from England because that's where she's from and I can do way too much fun stuff with her in the colonies.

I love that song. So beautifully morbid, yay! Not that mutiny is anything good in most circumstances (which my Cap'n thanks me for...she's glad to hear she won't find a knife in her throat by my hand! But then, I'm her loyal first mate...) Anyone know much about its origins? I know they adapted it for that Treasure Island musical way way back, but other than that I dont' know much about it. All I know is something 'bout fifteen men on a dead man's chest being the iron nails in a coffin... Oh, an' Trapper, thanks for yer note about the Wawona...got to get me down there one o' these days! Rather, the August one seeing as I'm off to Portland again soon, where all we gots is a river that's rather nasty for sailing, and no boat. Just the jolly roger I get to hang in my window...

Bad director-y people, not watching continuity with the tankards! I'll laugh when my (well, mine and my friends') film is finished, with no mistakes like that! Wahahaha! But anyway, I was here to talk about plot holes and stuffs... Two questions: one: Why is the moon full the whole time? Er, last I checked, the moon has, er, phases, and isn't full every bloody night! That got a bit wierd. And you get enough moonlight with half or so to make them all skeleton-y as far as I know! And if the moon isn't changing or naught, how are they sailing, because you sort of depend on the moon for tides and winds and whatnot... two: how is it that they had a pirates swoop (Isla de Muerta) so close to a major English colony? I mean, even if it can't be found without knowing about it, etc, it still seems silly, especially if the Black Pearl is sailing out of the place...loses credibility in the "no one beleives it exists" department. Erm. Right. Oh, and how in blazes were they sailing with the sails all full of holes? But then again I'm just nit-picky. On a more happy note, I loved that movie despite the holes, and I am...so...in love...with...the Lady Washington...I mean I was before, but now even more so...will spend the rest of the summer spending all my money on seeing that movie again and again so I can drool over the gorgeous ship...all the beautiful ships for that matter! Such cruelty, to destroy the Interceptor! How could they?! Broke my heart, that did! *sniff* Oh...and why's the rum gone?

Thank you, Cap'n Luigi! I'll keep that in mind 'bout the ramblin', eh?

Heh, these are good. I like the Economic Redistributionist one...:) Um...cant' really think of any, not any reasonable ones anyhow. As for unreasonable, well... "Meet Roger. He doesn't like you." Next to a Jolly Roger. THen there's always the question, who is roger and why is he so jolly? Ach, well, I'll think on it, I'm sure to come up with something, these certainly are amusing ideas.

Ah, 'ello, all! I'm just saying hi 'cause I'm new and all. Slightly lost having just stumbled upon this place...a whole place full of pirates! By the sea-king's beard, this is great! Never seen me more pirates in one place, ye ken. Heheh. Well, uh, yeah, not much else to say I'll stop rambling as is my habit.

I'm always on the look-out for good sea chantey sources, so this 'as been quite useful! I do know these two wonderful folks what sing chanteys, William Pint and Felicia Dale. I'll find a link (if I ever get me act together!) or something, but they have a few albums out with some lovely chanteys and other sea-related songs. Not so much of the pirate-stuff, though, which I needs must find more of! Felicia plays her hurdy-gurdy on some of their songs which is just COOL. And another note, at the Northwest Folklife Festival they had a bit of a nautical theme to it, and I got to hear a lot of wonderful chanteys live. Lovely stuff.
